I have it working that way, sharing files. I am still not yet completed with sharing printer because of a small hitch which I expect to resolve any time I get the permissions right. If you check keenly the file smb.conf it has those details you wanna act on. About passwords, yes it is there and you can even synchronize passwds with the NT Server. The easiest way though is to specify the Domain Controller domain controller = <Windows NT PDC netbios name> and security = server There is one issue though. They say NT Windows clients use encrypted passwords. You have to check this out because they also say samba uses plain text password. There is a FAQ about the registry keys to tweak for this on samba.org Quoting JianweiXu <jianweixu@msn.com>: [000823 19:21]: JianweiXu>Dear JianweiXu> JianweiXu>I try to replace a Windows NT with a FreeBSD and don't be aware of client users. JianweiXu> JianweiXu>I installed samba on the FreeBSD to supply file and printer sharing, but clients must login the FreeBSD again after they login domain. Is it possible to take off Windows NT PDC and use FreeBSD supply domain login verify to avoid clients login FreeBSD again when they want to use printer or files on the FreeBSD.

Harvard's is a subtle taste, like whiskey, coffee, or tobacco. It may even be a bad habit, for all I know. -Prof. J.H.
